About Us

Introduction

The purpose of this website is to share good examples of new modes of delivery of care and encourage adoption of proven innovations. It provides an online platform showcasing how digital health can be used for key long term conditions in a variety of settings to promote shared management between patients and their clinicians. This will improve self-care by patients (and their carers) in relation to their health conditions. You are encouraged to use, promote and disseminate the contents of the website but also to upload your examples of best practice that support new modes of delivery of care e.g., with technology enabled care or different workforce models.

Level 3 innovations have already been tried locally or elsewhere but need adapting or refining. (Derived from Health Foundation. SHINE 2012 Call for proposals. London: Health Foundation, 2012
